X Removing the Chassis Cover Follow the procedure described below to access the system's internal components. 1) To remove the chassis cover, loosen the 4 short screws from the front and rear panels, and and 6 long screws from the chassis cover as shown.
Figure 2-1. KUBE-8020 Chassis Cover screw locations 2) Carefully pry the chassis cover up and off of the chassis base. Use a non-metallic tool or Phillips screwdriver tip wrapped in cloth if you have difficulty. Be careful not to damage the thermal pads on the underside of the lid. Figure 2-2. KUBE-8020 - Removing the Chassis Cover X Replacing the Chassis Cover To replace the chassis cover, carefully align it with the chassis, making sure not to damage the thermal pads.
X System Component Locations See Figure 2-3 below for the locations of the internal components of the system. Front Panel Memory Slots Mini PCI Slot Hard Drive Bay Figure 2-3.
X Memory Module Installation Figure 3-4 below displays the notch marks as they should look on your DIMM memory modules. DDR2 DIMMs have 240-pins and one notch that will match with the onboard DIMM sockets. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (Figure 3-4) until it fits tightly into the DIMM socket. Figure 2-4.
